Notes

STORING
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.
Magimix Keto Frosting - For the keto buttercream frosting. I just set the Cook Expert to food processor 30 seconds and mix and scrape down the sides as needed until I have a fluffy buttercream.
Thermomix Keto Frosting - The buttercream can be whipped with the butterfly whisk attachment in place too. Please stop the mixer from time to time when making the frosting to scrape the sides down. Continue to mix until very light and fluffy. 
Flavors - to flavor the frosting simply add any of your favorite extracts, zest, unsweetened cacao etc. and mix.
The buttercream may become firm in the fridge to soften simple leave at room temperature until it softens.
